Attractions in Bali

Constructed in the 16th century to honor the Hindu sea god, Baruna, Tanah Lot is one of Bali's most-visited landmarks. The best time to admire Tanah Lot Temple is at sunset. At high tide the narrow connecting strip of land is submerged and the temple is cut off from land. Watch the sun spread across the Indian Ocean and marvel at the romantic look of Tanah Lot Temple with its glowing golden outline.

Jimbaran Beach is famous for its spectacular sunsets. The endless ocean seems to swallow the sun whole, before the horizon glows with twilight’s embers. The transience of day’s journey into night is magical. In addition to the famous seascapes, the open-air seafood stalls are a major attraction. Enjoy a candlelit seafood dinner while admiring the sunset. Then walk once more along this beachfront paradise.

The Devil's Tears is a small cliff-side location. Centuries of sea water has formed the rocks here into an open semicircle. Caves at the bottom of the cliff attest to the ocean's relentless power wearing away the rock. During high tide, waves reaching the caves create great jets spouting tens of meters in height. If you are lucky, you can see rainbows in the resulting mists. The contrast between the relative calm at low tide and the frenetic energy at high tide is a big attraction. People are invariably stunned by the power of nature.

Ayung River Rafting is an extremely popular activity in Bali. The banks of the river offer magnificent views of virgin lands, dense tropical rain forests, and beautiful waterfalls.
